The George Street Playhouse does a marvelous job of extending the experience of the storytelling attached with the plays they are running. The displays contain all kinds of additional information available for viewing in their lobby. Here are some photos taken from the one that was put together for their current production, American Son.

People were invited to put their own thoughts, hopes, and dreams on small pieces of paper and attach them to the area provided which was titled “What are your dreams for our sons?” It was interesting to read the variety thoughts and wishes that were documented on those notes. The wording allowed for individual family wishes as well as those for all men and I would have to add young or old.
This clothing is not shown in the play; one might assume it was something the young man referenced in the play may have worn.
He was an athlete according to what we learned in ‘American Son’ and this setting demonstrates that.
In addition to wall, a chalkboard was provided that allowed people to post their ideas.
